Vince McMahon is not losing any time knocking Netflix’s soon-to-be-released docuseries, “Mr. McMahon” … with the previous WWE honcho blasting the venture simply days earlier than its anticipated launch.
The six-part doc debuts on the streaming big’s platform later this week — on September 25 — and though 79-year-old McMahon admits he hasn’t but seen the collection, it is evident he is bracing for a present that paints him in lower than supreme gentle.
“I don’t regret participating in this Netflix documentary. The producers had an opportunity to tell an objective story about my life and the incredible business I built, which were equally filled with excitement, drama, fun, and a fair amount of controversy and life lessons,” McMahon stated in an announcement launched Monday afternoon.
FYI, Vince agreed to be a part of the collection, sitting down with producers on-camera. A number of different large wrestling stars additionally participated, together with Hulk Hogan, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, John Cena, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, and Paul “Triple H” Levesque, McMahon’s son-in-law.
“Unfortunately, based on an early partial cut I’ve seen, this doc falls short and takes the predictable path of conflating the ‘Mr. McMahon’ character with my true self, Vince. The title and promos alone make that evident.”
The WWE co-founder and longtime boss continued, saying … “A lot has been misrepresented or left out entirely in an effort to leave viewers intentionally confused. The producers use typical editing tricks with out-of-context footage and dated soundbites etc. to distort the viewers’ perception and support a deceptive narrative.”
“In an attempt to further their misleading account, the producers use a lawsuit based on an affair I ended as evidence that I am, in fact, ‘Mr. McMahon.'”
The present will deal with McMahon’s life, his ascension as essentially the most highly effective man in wrestling, and the controversy and lawsuits that finally led to his stepping away from WWE.
Vince ended his assertion with an ask of people that will watch the collection.
“I hope the viewer will keep an open mind and remember that there are two sides to every story.”
